Here He Is Miss Britain Part 3 free porn video

The little excursion to Bournemouth was a great time for the entire family. After the Trumbull's walked on the beach and enjoyed the sights and sounds of the tide coming in, the High Street shops were opening. Ace took Dave to Games, for their son wanted the new fighting game, Ehrgeiz. Ace ended up also getting him a new Southampton F. C. kit. The father and son walked by Sports Direct and the shirts were on sale. Afterward they went into hmv to look at what was new. Even with already getting Lawrence his tools, Ace picked his eldest son up a CD. It was, Hush, the new release by Texas one of Lawrence's favorite groups. The man of the Trumbull's household knew he was splurging some, but with both him and his missus winning big last week, they could afford to. Ace's missus was thinking the same way about splurging while shopping with Jeff. They picked Anne up the Poisonwood Bible and then at Marks and Spencer, she saw Clinique's Happy perfume and picked it up for her eldest daughter. Mere now saw it as she had two daughters. One full time and the other part time. When Jeff and his mother made it to the evening wear section women's clothing, he was gobsmacked by the fact he was going home with one of these amazing dresses. To the boy who was looking for the perfect outfit, it seemed like the rest of the store was in the dark and there was a spotlight on that dress. That dress was on center stage and the audience of one loved it. Jeff forgot that he was in public and hurried to that dress which demeaned his attention. It was a pink, sparkly twist detailed, metallic maxi dress. The boy knew if they had it in his size, it was the one. Jeff hurried to the dress and Mere was a couple of steps behind him. She was taken by surprise by how quick her son took off. The shop assistant for the area saw the happy customer and went towards the guaranteed sale. When she asked Jeff if he was being served, that made the boy come back to reality. The aspiring beauty queen was in public and people saw his reaction. That comment took him out of the cocoon of fantasizing about how great he would look in a dress, back to the real world. He quickly went into a shell, like the chocolate in a Smartie. Diana Gilase had dealt many times before with her male customers going into a shell when she came around and knew how to get them out of it. The excitement her customer had about the dress made her know the shell was like the one covering the chocolate in a Smartie, brittle. With a smile, she said, "Dear, I have many male customers here. What makes you different from them is your great sense of style and knowing what would look good on you." That little stroke of Jeff's ego was all which was needed for that shell to break. The boy who was going to say yes to the dress, knew she was right. His complexion was perfect for that pink, and how long the dress was highlighted his legs. Jeff also saw that, yes, there were other people in the section, but none where paying any attention to him. "I know." "If you do not want to look anymore, we will get this one." "I know this is the one mom." Mere knew her son's dress size, taking a size 10, she started to go up the till. Diana stopped her. The shop assistant knew there was a good chance these people traveled far to shop, that was common with her male customers. After getting Mere's attention, she suggested that Jeff try it on. Jeff so wanted to wear the dress, but politely turned her down by saying he did not have heels to wear. Diana got Jeff's shoe size then told him she knew the perfect pair for this dress. Jeff looked at his mom for her approval and when he got it told Diana to get them. Diana came back, and Mere and Jeff saw the plain pale pink heels in Diana's hands, they grewed agreeing they were perfect. Mere knew right then she was buying them also for Jeff to wear as Mary. Before the boy who was getting the right dress for his pageant went and tried it on, Diana went into the dressing area to make sure no other customers were about. Jeff went in to change. Diana said to Mere, "You can go in there to see how your son looks in the dress. I think he is going to look wonderful!" Mere smiled. "Thanks, I will, and I know he will. When he is Mary, he is so beautiful." Mere went in and Diana kept watch at the entrance. She knew how important not having strangers around when trying on clothes was to her male customers. Then she heard Jeff call for her. She went in and Jeff was nowhere to be found. She saw Mary, a beautiful girl with no makeup on. It was her turn to be gobsmacked, and just said, "Wow." Mary laughed and said, "I know I am one fit bird." After shopping, the family met at Harry Ramsden's for a fish and chips lunch. Dave was so happy with his new kit and game, he did not even ask Jeff what he got. Jeff was smart enough not to bring it up, and was excited to play his brother in that new game. Cloud Strife from Final Fantasy VII was a playable character. Ace and Mere told each other about the extra gifts they got for their kids and both laughed. They knew they spent more than they budgeted for the day, but even after going out to eat twice with the winnings, they still would have about half of it as extra money. ********** That evening's plan of getting Dave out of the house so Mary could wear her new dress got all balls-up when Anne showed up at the door with her boyfriend, Charlie Morton. She had been talking about them coming down on a Saturday so her parents could meet him. Both Ace and Mere were a little miffed that she did not call them first. Anne knew better than to make everyone change their plans at the last moment. Dave was also miffed, the only way he was making it over to his friends for an overnighter of playing his new game was if Anne and Charlie went out for the night. Lawrence was miffed that he was going to miss his time at the pub. It was not about seeing his friends, he has been chatting up Hilary Graham and she suggested that they get their own boothe tonight. Jeff was already miffed at Anne, and now he was also a little gutted from her unannounced visit. Mary was not going to have her time in that beautiful dress tonight. Anne then got miffed from her family not being happy about finally meeting Charlie. Her mom and dad kept on telling her to bring him down and when she finally did, they acted like it was an inconvenience to them. She came down on the spur of the moment with Charlie to stave off a fight. They have been going out for almost a year and he had yet to meet her parents. It made Charlie feel like the relationship was not serious. Anne wanted a serious relationship but was so scared of commitment. The reason was she did not feel like she was good enough for someone to commit to her. Anne tried to break the ice by mentioning to Charlie that Jeff made the Southampton under 15 team. Charlie was a huge football fan, his team was Chelsea. Jeff gave brief answers to Charlie's questions and tried to change the subject to his interview last week with the Bedales School. Jeff knew he needed his football skills to be accepted by most of the people in Shirley, but that should not be for one who was in uni. He wanted them to accept him for who he was, because later in life one cannot fall back on being known as the Magician from their prowess on the pitch. Anne took her brother giving brief responses as him still being short with her. She became frustrated that her family was not making it easy on Charlie. and let it out by saying, "I guess Jeff would much rather talk about dressing up like a little girl." Charlie laughed for he was nervous, and thought it was an inside joke. Lawrence shot Charlie a look which told him otherwise. Jeff said, "How could you? That is private!" Anne said, "You should not do anything which you do not want other people to know about." Jeff agreed with what Anne said to himself, and said, "No. What I'd much rather talk about is you sleeping with Lee last weekend." Anne became furious with her brother and said, "He is lying!" Jeff said, "Yeah, Anne. I am lying. You two did not sleep while sharing his bed." Ace wanted to get Anne and Jeff on the same page. He did not want his family to turn against each other. "Oi! Anne, Jeff, you two into the kitchen with me right now!" Those three went out of the room and Dave saw finding out why he had been staying at Nan's as a way to get out of staying here tonight. He was brave enough to say what he was about to say with his dad out of the room, for he was his mom's baby boy. "Mom, I am going over Lester's. There is no way I am going to sleep in the same bedroom as that tosser. Jeff might try to do something with me." Mere was horrified hearing her youngest trying to bear false witness on his own brother. It hurt her more than it hurt Jeff that Dave was using his brother's crossdressing against him and the family. "Oi, David you come with me, we need to have a talk!" The boy. who tried to get his way knew he was in as much trouble as a drunk driver pulled over by the bobbies, slowly started to follow his mom. She told him to hurry up and Dave knew that meant it was even more serious than he thought. This left Lawrence and Charlie alone. The last thing on Charlie's mind was finding out about Jeff's secret. He was thinking of his own issue of his girlfriend cheating on him. Lawrence said, "Listen here mate! When Jeff comes back in here you are giving him an apology." "For what?" "Don't be daft with me, for laughing at him liking to wear a dress. I thought you uni types were supposed to be more open than us working class types." Charlie became flustered, for even with him believing that he and Anne were done, he knew the first impression he made was worse than trying to market bottled water for pets. "We are. I mean, we aren't. I am sorry. I mean, I thought it was a joke. I really did. I will apologize as soon as I see Jeff. I didn't mean any harm." Lawrence could read people and knew that Charlie meant no harm. The protective older brother also knew that Charlie saw why his laughter caused some harm. "Good, then we are as right as rain. Now hopefully I can help do the same with you and my sis." Inside the kitchen, before Ace could say anything, Anne tried to get the high moral ground from the pit she was in. "How could you do that to me Jeff?" Jeff said, "Sis, you said it yourself. You should not do anything which you do not want others to find out about. That includes ex-boyfriends." Ace was going to get control of the situation. "Now you two stop it and listen to me. Anne, you never tell anyone about Mary without Jeff saying it is fine. It is none of anyone's business and you did it to hurt your brother. Jeff you know better than to fight fire with fire with family. What Anne did was wrong, but you do not do the same to her. Now, you two get back into the living room for Bob's your uncle." Upstairs, Dave got the bollocking of a lifetime from his mom. "Listen here Dave, I know you do not like that your brother likes to wear dresses. That does not give you the right to accuse him of doing something he would never do to you. That is just wrong!" "I don't care that he is my brother, I do not like benders. It is just wrong for a man to want to be with another man. Plus he wants to be a woman!" "It is not wrong for Jeff to be gay. Also, he doesn't want to be a woman, he just likes looking pretty." "I still want nothing to do with him. I can't believe that you and dad let him dress like a nutter." "You do not talk about your brother that way, young man!" "She is more like my sister. That faggot doesn't deserve respect from me or anyone else." "Dave if you really think that Jeff is not a man, then what are you? Jeff will always be faster and stronger than you. You are 4 inches smaller than he was at your age. He will always be better than you on the football pitch for he puts time and effort into it. So think about what you think makes a man. It is being there for your family, keeping your word, putting those you care about above yourself and always giving what you can. Not how big or fast you are. It is certainly not who you love or how you dress." Mere knew it was not her best moment of parenting ever. She hated pointing out Dave's physical shortcomings, but she felt that was the only way her son would rethink his position on Jeff. Hopefully, the hard truth of tough love would open Dave's eyes and heart to make him more accepting of Jeff. Dave not bickering back made her think that it worked. Sadly, it did not. Her son was hurt. It was not fair to him that his older brother was given the physical traits to be great at football and was wasting his time on being pretty. Dave did not put the time and effort into practicing for he knew no matter how hard he tried, he would never be as good as Jeff on the pitch. Knowing one cannot reach their goal was a great motivational killer. Ace came in with Jeff and Anne. Charlie stood up and said, "Anne, I think we should leave and go back up to Bath. We have some talking to do if we are going to work through this. Mr Trumbull, it was my pleasure meeting you and hopefully the next time we see each other we will have a better time." Then he turn to boy who he laughed at, "Jeff, I am sorry that I laughed at what Anne said. I thought it was a joke. That does not make it right. I hope you will give me a second chance when we see each other again. I should have listened to what you wanted to tell me about yourself. It is more important that you are going to Bedales. That will get you further in life than being able to bend the ball. I just love football and wanted to talk about it." Anne knew that Charlie was being more than polite with what he was saying. She could not understand why he would even want to try to work this out with her. She would find out the reason on their way back to Bath. Lawrence had a talk about Anne with her man and was able to start the process of making things as right as rain between them. Charlie's love for Anne was as true as a sentinel to their post. His love made him open to hearing out Anne's brother telling him why she made those mistakes. How she did not see herself as being someone who another could and would make a true commitment to. That if Charlie did not at least try to make it work it out, Anne's faith in her being unworthy of the love of another would strengthen. Charlie could not let Anne down and would do what he could to get them on the right page of their relationship. It might only be as friends, but Charlie's love for her would make sure he was always there for that lady with the broken smile. Anne gave her goodbyes to her family. Hers was heartfelt to them all, and only Jeff did not return the love. She understood why and knew that somehow she was going to have to make it better between them. Anne was going to have to get past her preconceived notions about crossdressers to reconnect with her brother. How she felt after her brother's goodbye was in words only, was going to make it easy for her to rethink her feelings on men in dresses. After the couple who was going to have the most important talk in their relationship left, Dave and his mom came back down. Lawrence saw the pain in Jeff's eye and the despise in Dave's. He knew that it would be hard for those two to share the same roof and impossible for them to share the same bedroom. He knew that Jeff also needed his own space to explore who Mary was. Lawrence said, "Hey there Dave, you do not want to be in the same bedroom as Jeff, that is fine. Jeff and I will be changing beds." Ace and Mere were so proud of their eldest son. He took the initiative and solved the problem of the rift between Jeff and Dave. Ace saw it as his son being one step closer to becoming a man, no 18-year old boy would offer to give up his own room to bunk with an 11 year old. Only an 18- year man would do so. Ace had pride his son would be like him, a working class hero, doing what was right for his family. It touched Mere that her son was being an example of what she told Dave being a man was about. Dave, thinking he was in the clear, mentioned that he should be going to Lester's house since his sister was gone. Ace said nothing, for it was Mere's call if the boy went or not. Seeing those two come downstairs only told Dave's dad that his son did something wrong. Ace also concluded whatever his youngest son did had to deal with the sleeping arrangement from Lawrence's statement. Mere said, "Yes." The mother figured her words were punishment enough and that her son would think about them with an open mind if he was able to go to his friends. Plus, him going to Lester's meant that she could have time with Mary. Lawrence offered to walk Dave over. The chaperone wanted to have a little talk with his little brother. He did not like what the youngest Trumbull said about their brother. Pair that fact with Lawrence seeing Dave talking to National Front recruiters. He wanted to make sure his brother was not falling for their propaganda about foreigners, gays and women which those fascists spread. Dave lied to his brother when he said he knew those older kids were not telling the truth and the conversation became only about football. After Dave and Lawrence left, Mere and Ace were waiting for Jeff to race upstairs to try on his new gown. Jeff just sat there, not saying a word. Mere wanted her Ace to see their son in that gown almost as much as her Ace wanted to. Before she could encourage her son to put on a little fashion show Ace said, "Jeff, why don't you try on your new outfit for me to see?" "No, Dad. I am not in the mood." Mere knew something was wrong and said, "Jeff, it is fine to be Mary right now, only me and your dad are here." Jeff was not ready for the negative reactions of him expressing Mary. "Mom, Anne and Dad was right." Ace said, "Jeff, I meant don't turn on your family. Anne doing you wrong would have been taken care of by me and your mom. You don't go against family." Mere said, "My Ace, Jeff was right to stand up for himself how he did. He needs to. We will not always be there to have his back. Anne was not right in sharing that about Jeff and only did so for she did not expect him to do the same. Anne went against family first and Jeff was right in making sure she paid for it." Ace knew his wife was right, the patriarch of the family just did not want division between his kids. He saw that trying to tie one of their hands when the others was playing dirty was wrong. "Jeff, I was wrong. You need to make sure there is no one in Shirley or anywhere who can stop this girl on the pitch." Those words of encouragement brought back the desire to be Mary. Jeff's dad using his son's new motto made it so the boy who was becoming both a man and woman knew he could not let people hold him back. Jeff also knew he needed to get his composure back before he changed. He wanted to be in the right frame of mind when he transformed into Mary. With a new smile on his face Jeff said, "Give me a minute and I will change." *********** The weeks leading up to Mary's fashion show were going by as quick as a track star. Jeff and Lawrence switched bedrooms and Dave was as happy with that as a dog whose bone was taken away. The move Jeff more freedom to find out who Mary exactly was and his mom helped by buying her son two sleeping gowns. At first Jeff would wear one each night to sleep, then when the novelty of being able to wear them wore off, Jeff only did so when it felt right. Jeff also spent time getting ready for the pretend pageant. It did not matter to him that he would be the only contestant, Jeff was going to be the best pageant contestant he could be. He practiced walking the catwalk in heels. Went to the library and got books on public speaking so he could be as elegant as Audrey Hepburn when he was giving the answers. Lastly, in his new room he spent hours practicing for the talent portion. Jeff would not let on what it was and the only hint was his family could hear Britney Spears' "Hit Me Baby One More Time" coming from the makeshift rehearsal hall. Jeff was not the only one who was getting ready for Mary's big night. Lawrence was able to procure a low power spotlight for the evening. No questions were asked, but Lawrence said that it would not get there until the day before, and soon afterwards find its way back home. Ace wrote out some note cards. He wanted to make this night as special as his son looked in a dress. Mere got the sheet music for Prince's "The Most Beautiful Girl in the World", INXS's "Beautiful Girl", and the Cranberries "Dreams". Ace asked Mere if she was fine with only playing them as instrumentals and his Pookie agreed. During the summer break from school, the space between Jeff and Dave started to grow, with Ace and Mere as helpless as fools playing chess to stop it. The space between Jeff and Anne stayed the same, with Anne being helpless to do anything to close the distance between them. Jeff was as welcoming to her gestures of goodwill as Paul was to a phone call from Yoko. Ace had a plan to help Anne, but it needed to be done at the right time. The day Jeff got the acceptance letter from the Bedales School was a joyous one for the entire family. Everyone was happy that Jeff got his one way ticket out of Shirley. Most of the joy was for they knew the ticket out of Shirley was to a better life. Dave's reason for being happy was more self serving. Jeff's little brother was happy he would not have to deal with that bender being around him. Ace was even happier, for he noticed little details in the acceptance letter. He treated life as a game of pool, and played the angles, so he always paid attention to be able to see them as soon as possible. First, that letter was from the Headmistress' office, not admissions. Second, it was not a form letter, it mentioned specific details about the interview she had with Jeff. The biggest small detail noticed by the father who was as proud of Jeff as the Mary who kept on rolling, was what was missing. The letter talked about Jeff academic excellence and his community work. Even with being only 12, Jeff did go around and collected money for the Dog Trust. Those little details meant one thing to Jeff's father, his son was accepted to the school on the merit of what he did in the classroom, not on the pitch. Then two days before the one man beauty pageant, a huge blow to Jeff came in the form of another letter from the Bedales School. It was a simple form letter which stated that he did not win the athletic scholarship. Jeff knew his dream of going to the prep school was in danger when his dad did not reassure him everything was going to be fine. Ace never tried to make people feel better by giving them false hope. Having false hope made real hope weaker. Real hope needed to be as strong as it could be so one could soldier on in the harsh reality which was Shirley. Ace and Mere were also devastated by the letter. There was no way which they could pay for the tuition. Ace wanted to go to the school right then and clear it up. His Pookie knew that her Ace was not in the right state of mind to deal with this situation in the delicate manner which was needed. Mere knew it had to be a mix up for they got the invoice for the school year which showed their son was getting a free ride. Mere talked Ace out of going tonight and letting her be the one who went there tomorrow to clear it up. That morning Ace was still trying to figure out how to pay if Mere came back with confirmation about the scholarship being rescinded. The resourceful man remembered a bank shot which he'd set up to help so it would not break the bank by Jeff going to the Bedales School without that scholarship. He put in for bursaries just in case Jeff did not get that scholarship, which was guaranteed to him. Ace was blaming himself too much in letting his son down by not being able to get himself to think clearly and remember he had a contingency plan. Another reason Ace forgot about the ace up his sleeve was he was too busy trying to figure what he could do, legit or shady, to raise the money for the schooling in such a little space of time. Ace was not going to let this chance pass up his son. Working the docks meant he could make some good money if he went overnight and did not inspect all the cargo coming in. For his son he would do that. He knew who smuggled what into the country, and would only do so in cases of trying to elude paying taxes. Ace also was ready to call who offered the scholarship, to Jeff, to see what was happening, but Mere convinced him to wait until after she went to the school. One of the alumni, Dan Driver, a big donor from that exclusive prep school, was the one who approached Ace and Mere about Jeff going to that school. Mr. Driver saw Jeff's magic on the pitch and wanted it at his school. With Jeff playing center for his alma mater they would win the championship, it would be no competition. Mr. Driver loved to win and hated competition, so Jeff needed to be on the team. Mere waited until right before lunch time to show up at the school, she knew that without an appointment scheduled she would never get to see the headmistress. She also knew that the headmistress was not the type to pack a lunch. Eating a packed lunch would be a waste of her time because she could use that meal as also a meeting. Mere then started to case the halls of the admin building for the planned chance encounter she was going to have with Headmistress Willcocks. The hard part of bumping into the lady was being in the right place at the right time. Mere was not worried about anyone knowing she should not be in the building for one simple reason; Mere acted like she should be there. Then the chance encounter happened and Mere knew it was going to go as good as fish went with chips. It was not women's intuition which told her, but how Headmistress Willcocks was the one who initiated contact and was happy to see her. "Hi, there Ms Trumbull! It is great to see you. Is there anything I can do to help you?" Mere knew to be as tactful as Stephen Fry and said, "Yes Headmistress Willcocks, where is the registrar's office? I am here to see about the bursaries we put in for Jeff's tuition." "Please call me Allison, Ms. Trumbull, you have no need for any bursaries. Everything, the tuition, books, along with room and board are all covered by your son's scholarship!" The response which Meredith had to give hurt to say. She hated that right now, she could not provide for her son and she had to admit it to this lady, "Please call me Mere. Jeff did not get the athletic scholarship. Here is the letter we got." Allison did not look at the letter for she knew that Jeff had received an academic scholarship. She was the one who pushed for it. Jeff was more deserving as a student than an athlete to be accepted at this school, and that fact should be reflected by the scholarship he got. Allison knew, with him coming from a lower class working background, that having the scholarship be for academics would help Jeff know he belonged at this school. The headmistress said, "Mere, Jeff did get a scholarship. It is an academic one. Come have lunch with me, I want to talk to you about your son. I see a bright future for him. I am looking forward to him coming here to further his education. After lunch we will make sure this is all cleared up!" Mere went to the docks, after the meeting with Allison, to tell Ace the great news. She could tell as Ace was getting the information, he was formulating a plan. He suggested to her that they tell Jeff that the mix up was cleared up, and he got a scholarship. He explained that he wanted to present the letter as the prize to Mary for winning the pageant tomorrow night. The protective mom went along with it for one reason, the trust her son had in her and Ace's word. Just hearing from them the scholarship was his would put Jeff's mind at ease. When those two came home Jeff came running down the stairs to get an update on the financial situation about his schooling. He did not have to hear a word to know it was good news. After his parent's words confirmed what their faces told Jeff, he could now put all his efforts to his pageant tomorrow. ************ It was 19:00 and Mary stood at the top of the steps, in her pink metallic gown, waiting for the cue to proceed with her procession down the stairs for her grand entrance to the biggest night of her life. She heard the wonderful stylings of her mom on the piano, took a deep breath, and went down the stairs. She made sure her smile was as big as her future to impress the judges of her mom and brother. The timing was as perfect as a parent's love for their child, Mary stepped into the spotlight Lawrence was working to come into view of the audience as the first note of Anne's singing left her mouth. "Could you be the most beautiful girl in the world. It's plain to see you're the reason that God made a girl." It took all of Mary's poise to keep on going. Her sister was not only showing her support of Mary, but was playing a big part in Mary living out her dream. It made the girl remember being a toddler and crawling up into her big sister's lap and saying, "Sing to me." Anne would gently sing to Mary as Jeff and her brother fell asleep in her arms. Lawrence wanted to make sure he saw Charlie's reaction to seeing Mary. Anne's boyfriend was as stunned as a know-it-all who missed the first question on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire at how Mary looked. Lawrence whispered to the man who could not believe that was a boy in that dress, "I told you my brother is a fit bird." After Mary promenaded during the song, she took her place standing behind her dad, the Master of Ceremonies. Ace made the introduction. "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Miss Britain 1999. Tonight is very exciting for the contestants as they show off to the world both their outer and inner beauty. Appearance is only a little part of being worthy of wearing the crown of Miss Britain. One has to have style, class, along with charm, and tonight you will be seeing the beautiful ladies behind me showcase all of those qualities to you. The format has changed and by the request of the contestant from Southampton, there will be no evening wear portion tonight. She insisted on only the swimsuit competition for the physical judging, because it is more of a showcase of the physical fitness of the contestants. We agreed, for these changes help put more of an emphasis on total beauty. So we will move to the question round right now." Mary was brilliant answering the questions her dad gave. After the questions, and before Ace could move the pageant to the next round, Anne asked if it was fine to ask Mary a question. Mary said yes. "Mary, you have an unique perspective on life. Not only are you a beautiful girl who will be seen only as that by some people, you are also a star football player who is only seen as that by other people. How are those situations similar and different?" Mary was excited that her sister asked that question, "Sis, I mean Anne! They are similar, for when people judge you on either how you look or how well you do something which is trivial, it makes you less of a person in their eyes. It takes away from true interactions for people are more focused on a small part of you, and not the big picture. They both open doors, but lead you to ask if you earned those opportunities or do they come from people being pleased by something which is not important." After giving the answer, Mary went upstairs to change into a one piece swimsuit. Ace did not know how he would handle seeing his son in something which was to show off his body in a feminine way. He knew it was part of the competition, but felt that Mary parading around in a swimsuit and heels was part of the issue of people judging women on their looks. The man with reservations about the next portion mind was put at ease as Mary came down to her mom playing INXS' "Beautiful Girl". Her red and white one-piece, with the Great Britain flag on it, had a high neckline and thick shoulder straps. Also, Mary was not wearing heels but flip-flop sandals. How Mary's outfit was functional instead of only accenting her physical attributes made Ace see it as a boy her age wearing speedos at the beach. Mary made sure the swimsuit she'd got was conservative. Even with Mary knowing she loved being noticed for her looks, the girl wanted the attention to be natural. The spotlight lover did not want to chase after it. Mary knew that ladies were treated more like humans if they just showed their natural beauty in a normal way. To Mary, someone who really had it, did not need to flaunt it. Ace started to read the card Mary gave to him for this part of the evening event. "Here is our contestant Mary in a tasteful outfit, showing her love of the country she wants to represent." After the swimsuit event, Mary went back upstairs and got changed into a school girl uniform for the talent portion of the pageant. She was going to dance to Britney Spears' "Hit Me Baby One More Time". The big fan of the Princess of Pop knew all the choreography of the video. Mary made a quick decision about her quick outfit change. Instead of going for the exact outfit which Britney Spears wore in the video, she was going to dress just like a traditional British School girl: blouse buttoned up and dark blue stockings, instead of her shirt being tied up to show her midriff, and thigh high stockings. The wardrobe change would better fit her personality, she did not need to flaunt it for people to see she had it Plus it stayed in line with the point of her choice of swimsuit, a girl could be pretty without having to sexulize her body.. Lawrence hit play when he heard the cue from Mary. She nailed the dance routine and Anne was so happy to see her sister enjoying herself. The older sister was happy that Mary was showing she was classy spelled with a C not a K. How Mary was carrying herself with respect and dignity was a sign that she respected femininity. Seeing her sister put on this celebration of all things feminine made Anne think that more women should show this kind of reverence to who they were. After Mary was done dancing, the musical director of the night went to the piano and Anne stood up to sing. They performed the Cranberries "Dreams", while Mary stood in the spotlight waiting for her dad to announce the winner. Even with the announcement of the winner being known to all, Mary was as nervous as a real contestant. She could not help but think what if she did not win? She knew those thoughts were daft, but they came to her and were real. She wanted this victory as bad as Britain wanted a player from the UK to win Wimbledon. Then the MC of the evening took the envelope and said, "Here it is ladies and gentlemen, the moment we all have been waiting for. The winner of Miss Britain 1999 is... Mary Trumbull! Here He is, Miss Britain!" Hearing her name called out as the Miss Britain 1999 was more exciting to Mary than any goal she ever scored on the football pitch. She jumped up and down looking for someone to hug, someone to share the celebration with. Lawrence got the hug, as he came up to give the winner a bouquet of flowers. As those two hugged and the rest of them came to join Mary in her moment of glory, Ace said, "Our winner Mary gets one prize. An academic scholarship to Bedales School!" Mary said, "Don't you mean athletic?" Mere said, "No Mary, you got an academic scholarship! Headmistress Willcocks found you more worthy as a student than a football player to attend the school. She wants to make sure you and everyone else knew you are there on your merit, not from a trivial skill. This means you do not need to play football and attend that school." "Mum, I will still play football, I want to show them that nobody can keep this girl down on the pitch!"
